In contrast, Ku-0063794 does kinase A/protein kinase G/protein kinase C) family kinases such not affect Thr308 phosphorylation in fibroblasts lacking essential as Akt (protein kinase B), S6K (p70 ribosomal S6 kinase) and SGK mTORC2 subunits, suggesting that signalling processes have (serum and glucocorticoid protein kinase). mTORC1 (mTOR adapted to enable Thr308 phosphorylation to occur in the absence complex-1) phosphorylates the hydrophobic motif of S6K, of Ser473 phosphorylation. We found that Ku-0063794 induced whereas mTORC2 phosphorylates the hydrophobic motif of Akt a much greater dephosphorylation of the mTORC1 substrate and SGK. In the present paper we describe the small molecule 4E-BP1 (eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1) than Ku-0063794, which inhibits both mTORC1 and mTORC2 with rapamycin, even in mTORC2-deficient cells, suggesting a form an IC50 of ∼10 nM, but does not suppress the activity of 76 other of mTOR distinct from mTORC1, or mTORC2 phosphorylates protein kinases or seven lipid kinases, including Class 4E-BP1.

INTRODUCTION activated protein kinase) pathway [11]. mTORC2 consists of mTOR, Rictor, Sin1, mLST8 as well as Protor and is insensitive The mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) protein kinase to acute rapamycin treatment [12–18]. The activity of mTORC2 lies at the nexus of signalling pathways that regulate cell activity is controlled by PI3K, but is insensitive to amino acids or growth and proliferation.

C-terminal non-catalytic residue, termed the ‘hydrophobic motif’. mTORC1 is activated by insulin and growth factors via a PI3K- Activation of AGC kinases also requires phosphorylation of controlled pathway, involving Akt-mediated phosphorylation of an additional site within their kinase catalytic domain termed PRAS40 (proline-rich Akt substrate of 40 kDa) and tuberous the ‘T-loop motif’. This phosphorylation is executed by the sclerosis complex-2 protein, and activation of the Rheb GTPase PDK1 (3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1) [19].

  • Resistance to Drugs and Cell Death in Cancer Stem Cells (Cscs)
    Journal of Translational Science Review Article ISSN: 2059-268X Resistance to drugs and cell death in cancer stem cells (CSCs) Ahmad R Safa* Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, USA Abstract Human cancers emerge from cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are resistant to cancer chemotherapeutic agents, radiation, and cell death. Moreover, autophagy provides the cytoprotective effect which contributes to drug resistance in these cells. Furthermore, much evidence shows that CSCs cause tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, and cancer recurrence. Various signaling pathways including the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK), NOTCH1, and Wnt/β-catenin as well as the CSC markers maintain CSC properties. Several mechanisms including overexpression of ABC multidrug resistance transporters, a deficiency in mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis, upregulation of c-FLIP, overexpression of anti- apoptotic Bcl-2 family members and inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), and PI3K/AKT signaling contribute to enhancing resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs and cell death induction in CSCs in various cancers. Studying such pathways may help provide detailed understanding of CSC mechanisms of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents and apoptosis and may lead to the development of effective therapeutics to eradicate CSCs.

Without their support and guidance, I would not be where I am today. I also dedicate this work to my husband, for pushing me to the best I can. Last, and most importantly, I would like to dedicate this work to my fifteen months son for being well behaved during the last few months. You are the treasure of my life. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deep gratitude to my mentor Dr. Kun-Liang Guan for his direction, encouragement, and support during my graduate study. I am very thankful to him for his patience with me, enduring my naïve questions. That Dr. Guan is so approachable and enthusiastic about science set me an example on how to be a great PI and a great scientist. Next, I sincerely acknowledge the members of my thesis committee, Drs Randal J. Kaufman, Anne B. Vojtek, Diane C. Fingar and Martin G. Myers for their insightful suggestions and constructive criticism on my work. I would like to thank the current and former members of the Guan lab. All of them made the lab a great place to work. Especially, I would like to thank Bin Zhao, my husband, also a Guan lab member, for teaching me every lab techniques.

Revised version received Many putative PDK1 substrates have been identified, but have not been analyzed following 15 April 2008 transient and specific inhibition of PDK1 activity. Here, we demonstrate that a previously Accepted 16 April 2008 characterized PDK1 inhibitor, BX-795, shows biological effects that are not consistent with Available online 23 April 2008 PDK1 inhibition. Therefore, we describe the creation and characterization of a PDK1 mutant, L159G, which can bind inhibitor analogues containing bulky groups that hinder access to the − − Keywords: ATP binding pocket of wild type (WT) kinases. When expressed in PDK1 / ES cells, PDK1 PDK1 L159G restored phosphorylation of PDK1 targets known to be hypophosphorylated in these PKB/Akt cells. Screening of multiple inhibitor analogues showed that 1-NM-PP1 and 3,4-DMB-PP1 − − PI3K optimally inhibited the phosphorylation of PDK1 targets in PDK1 / ES cells expressing PDK1 Chemical genetics L159G but not WT PDK1. These compounds confirmed previously assumed PDK1 substrates, AGC kinases but revealed distinct dephosphorylation kinetics.

  • The P90 RSK Family Members: Common Functions and Isoform Specificity
    Published OnlineFirst August 22, 2013; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-12-4448 Cancer Review Research The p90 RSK Family Members: Common Functions and Isoform Specificity Romain Lara, Michael J. Seckl, and Olivier E. Pardo Abstract The p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (RSK) are implicated in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, survival, migration, and invasion. In cancer, RSKs modulate cell transformation, tumorigenesis, and metastasis. Indeed, changes in the expression of RSK isoforms have been reported in several malignancies, including breast, prostate, and lung cancers. Four RSK isoforms have been identified in humans on the basis of their high degree of sequence homology. Although this similarity suggests some functional redundancy between these proteins, an increasing body of evidence supports the existence of isoform-based specificity among RSKs in mediating particular cellular processes. This review briefly presents the similarities between RSK family members before focusing on the specific function of each of the isoforms and their involvement in cancer progression.
